Next Securities has confirmed the reappointment of Kim Seung-yeon as CEO. He will lead the company until 2028, focusing on the launch and stabilization of retail services for individual investors.

The company announced on November 2 that its board of directors approved Kim's reappointment on October 14. His new term began on October 29 and will last for two years.

Kim has extensive experience in both global platform companies and the domestic fintech sector. After working at Google and TikTok, he served as CEO of Toss Securities before taking the helm at Next Securities in October 2024. Since his appointment, he has continued the existing derivatives brokerage business while also pursuing entry into retail services based on artificial intelligence (AI) and video content.

During his new term, Kim plans to concentrate on launching and stabilizing retail services. Next Securities will sequentially introduce trading services for individual investors, starting with open API services and followed by a mobile trading system (MTS).

Founded in 1997 as Hyundai Futures, Next Securities has focused on derivatives brokerage and investment banking (IB). The company changed its name to Next Securities in December 2024. In July of last year, it transitioned from a dual CEO system with Kim Seung-yeon and Lee Byung-joo to a single CEO structure under Kim Seung-yeon to accelerate the development of a new MTS and expand its retail business.
